iCloud backup is encrypted if the option is chosen. It’s deactivated by default. The backup is linked to the signature of your devices, or a phrase you are only shown once when activating it. AFAIK it’s secure until now.
Why? Under the Patriot act they are forced to comply and then lie about it if asked if they did.
I see no reason why anyone should trust them, or any other company that claims to protect your encryption while holding the keys for it.
That right there is the problem.
This is unverifiable trust, should be avoided, basically “appeal to authority” fallacy, but hey sure trust a capitalist company in a emerging fascist controlled dictatorship to the speak the truth.

For now - yes.

They say themselves that they don’t have the key, and since there is no evidence that they do, I believe that.
